Hamilton sets ultimatum: "If not, this is going to happen more often"

The clash between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen is of course the talk of the town in the world of Formula 1, but the chances that it will stay that way are slim. Especially the tempers on the Red Bull Racing side are running high and the comments of Lewis Hamilton will not help.

In the car, the world champion already stated that Verstappen cut him off in his eyes. Afterwards, he still believes that he is not solely to blame for the crash, despite his punishment. Indeed, in an interview with Formula1.com's Lawrence Barretto, he still seems to hold Verstappen mostly responsible for the accident.

Chatting to Lewis in the pen, he says he's open to talks with Max after their collision as he doesn't have any issues. For him, it's "Game on, just keep on attacking. There needs to be respect on the track - and if not this will happen more often I guess". #BritishGP #F1

Verstappen does not keep quiet

As mentioned, Red Bull were not happy with Hamilton's behaviour, either during or after the race. Even Verstappen himself, who normally keeps a low profile, expressed his displeasure on Instagram about the way Hamilton celebrated his victory.
